Between 1947 and 1955, certain comic books printed horror and crime stories that were gory, lurid and unique. These wild books were “genuinely and bravely subversive” and featured art by the likes of such luminaries as L.B. Cole, Steve Ditko, Reed Crandall, Al Feldstein and Basil Wolverton. When Dr. Frederic Wertham’s “Seduction of the Innocent” was published in 1954, comics were linked to youth violence, depravity of all sorts and juvenile delinquency.

Sea Turtles are among the ocean’s most mysterious and threatened species. Coming to land at night on the beaches of select areas of the world, they lay hundreds of eggs in their nests. The threats to these nests and their tiny hatchlings are numerous. There are often human and animal predators. And once they hatch they are food for gulls, frigatebirds, fish and numerous other marine species.  Only a tiny fraction of the young turtles make it to a mile offshore.
